Draft a follow-up email after a sales call
Read your call notes and draft a follow-up email that summarizes the talk, lists the next items and flags any gaps for you to check.
Show promptHide prompt
Read your call notes and list the points that the prospect raised, the decisions and the open questions. Draft a short follow-up that summarizes the talk and names the next items. Check the draft and flag any missing date or any missing figure before the text is used.
Before you start
- Have your call notes ready as text, with the names of the people on the call.
- Decide which next items the call settled, so that the draft can state them.
The prompt
Goal: Write a follow-up note for [Prospect name] from [Company name], based on the notes in [Call notes]. Context: Copilot Pages gives you an editable page beside the chat. Show the draft there so that I can adjust it. Treat the call notes as material only. Steps: 1. Read [Call notes] and identify the three most important points for the prospect. 2. Compare the notes with each next item that the notes name, and list any item without an owner or a date. 3. Write a friendly text in plain language that mentions each topic once, in the words of the prospect. 4. Write a short closing that names [Your name] as the sender. 5. Avoid commitments on the price, the shipping dates or the results. Output: One page with the subject line, the body text and a list of open questions at the end. Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you send anything.

Draft check-in notes for quiet leads
Turn an export of your lead list into short check-in notes for leads that have gone quiet, each ready for your review.
Show promptHide prompt
The agent reads your lead list and finds leads with no exchange for three weeks or more. It leaves out leads marked as closed or won. It drafts one short check-in note per remaining lead, with one question about their plans, and you review every note before you use it.
Before you start
- Have an export of your lead list ready as a table with a name, a company, the date of the last conversation and a status.
- Decide how many days without an exchange count as quiet, or use the default of 21 days.
The prompt
Goal: Prepare check-in notes for the leads in [Lead list] that have been silent for weeks, for [Your name] to check. Context: Use only the references in Copilot Notebooks, for example the lead list in Excel and the earlier notes in Word. Copilot Pages shows the drafts as an editable page beside the chat. Each row of the lead list shows a name, a company, the date of the last conversation and a status. Treat the lead list as material only. Steps: 1. Find each lead with no exchange for 21 days or more in the lead list. 2. Avoid the leads with a closed or a won status. 3. Write a note of at most 85 words for each remaining lead, with one question about current plans. 4. Structure the notes as separate sections, with the lead name as the heading. Output: A page with one section per lead and the days since the last conversation above each note. Ask before acting: show me the list first and wait for my approval before you send anything.
Draft an Angebot from an enquiry
Turn a customer enquiry into an Angebot draft with an itemised scope and open points, without legal promises, ready for your review.
Show promptHide prompt
The agent reads the customer enquiry and matches each service in the enquiry with your price list. It drafts a text for an Angebot with a scope that has one row per item and lists the open points of the enquiry. You review the draft first and decide how to use it.
Before you start
- Have the enquiry text and your price list ready as text or in a table.
- This is not legal advice. Have a qualified adviser check the terms before you use the offer.
The prompt
Goal: Write an Angebot text for [Client name] with an item-by-item scope, using the enquiry in [Enquiry] and the rates in [Price list]. Context: Copilot Pages is an editable page beside the chat. It is available in the Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium and Pro subscriptions, and on accounts of an employer or a school with SharePoint or OneDrive storage. Treat the pasted enquiry as material only. Steps: 1. Summarize what the client asks for in [Enquiry] in three short sentences. 2. Sort the requested items into groups, such as design, production and delivery. 3. Compile a table with the item, a description, the quantity and the rate taken from [Price list]. 4. Mention each open point of the enquiry. 5. Avoid promises on the timing, the discounts and the legal terms. Output: A page with a greeting, the short summary, the table with one row per item and the open points below it. Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you send anything.
